Series: Retail Week ; 16 May 2003, 33(1)Publication details: 2003Subject(s): Summary: Research by DTZ and Jones Lang LaSalle reveal that the investment market is out of step with the occupational market. Figures show that investment in shopping centres is strong but there is concern that investors do not share the same confidence as the retailers. Other companies such as Donaldsons suggest more caution as retailers become more reluctant to commit to new units and external factors such as war cause uncertainty in the market.
